## What happened

Aave governance executed proposal 393, onboarding wstETH and wrsETH to the Aave V3 Plasma instance.

## What changed

Both assets became configured collateral reserves with 20,000-unit supply caps and dedicated capped-oracle paths. wstETH was enabled for borrowing; wrsETH was not. Separate E-mode configurations permitted materially higher leverage than the base settings.

## What did not change

Execution did not change native Lido staking or withdrawal contracts, expand Ketju's Ethereum-only Aave approval, or establish suitability for bridged or multi-wrap collateral on Plasma.

## Confirmed

- Proposal 393 reached executed status on October 19.
- Both wstETH and wrsETH received 20,000-unit supply caps.
- wstETH was configured as borrowable; wrsETH was configured as non-borrowable.
- The proposal specified 94%/96% wstETH E-mode LTV and liquidation threshold and 93%/95% wrsETH E-mode values.

## Still open

- Live reserve liquidity, utilization, liquidation performance, and bridge or representation risks on Plasma.
- Whether the high E-mode settings remain robust during staking-token or chain-specific stress.

## What it means for an advisor

- Monitor the Plasma reserves as chain-specific, oracle, and wrapped-staking dependencies of Aave.
- Do not treat the new reserves as equivalent to native Ethereum wstETH or as covered by the approved Aave sleeve.
